| Abstract | The drawings returned this year to Bremen surfaced in March 1993, when authors Akinsha and Kozlov went to see a representative of the still unidentified soldier who picked them up in Karnzow Castle. They met the man in a provincial Russian city and he pulled out the prints from under a sofa where he had been keeping them. "The old man put the portfolio on a table and slowly opened it," flicking through the prints, according to the account in "Beautiful Loot." "I like this Watteau very much," the man said. "This Rembrandt isn't bad either." The prints were secretly handed over to the German Embassy in Moscow but sat there for several years until the two governments reached an understanding on their return, which included the simultaneous return from Germany of two artifacts from the missing Amber Room in Catherine's Palace in Tsarskoye; the pieces had been found in the possession of a son of a German soldier who served on the Soviet front. A Bremen merchant bought them to end a court case and speed their return to Russia. |
